I recently purchased MME's Quilting Bee paper pad and decided to break it in :) Had an itch to make a masculine card so I pulled out Verve's Strong Anchor set and paired it with with the adorable sailboat from Text Objects. The white background panel is scored for some texture, but hard to see in the picture. Kept to black, grey and white with a pop of turquoise as I love the boldness of the colour combo. Think I may give this card to hubby to remind him how he is our family's strong anchor and how we appreciate him for it :)
